Both! There is a need for mathematical typesetting in matplotlib without
a dependency on TeX. Not everyone is making plots destined for inclusion
in their LaTeX-typeset papers. However, some people, like you and me,
*are* making such plots and a pslatex-based solution would be a perfect
fit for that use case.
